Step inside The Royal Montreal Regiment’s operational armory to discover the inner workings of this historic military unit.

Regiments on the Ridge: 100 years after the Battle of Vimy Ridge tells the story of Canadian participation in WWI.

In April 1917, the Canadian Corps, fighting for the first time as a Canadian entity, attacked the ridge which spanned seven kilometers and was heavily fortified by the Germans.

The travelling exhibition is displayed on 14 freestanding, bilingual panels.

Get the chance to interact with our replica uniforms from the Great War.

We lend both the soldier’s and the nurse’s uniform so that every one can picture how people dressed during wartime.

The uniforms offer a small insight into the daily lives of the ordinary people who participated in events that took unprecedented proportions.
